Jeff Williams, owner of Williams Subaru in Lansing, Michigan, told Automotive News while attending Subaru’s Auto Team America Dealer/CEO/CFO Forum that the U.S. Subaru retailers are excited about the sneak peek they had of the redesigned 2025 Outback. It could be a working model, or it may still be on the drawing board.
“That’s the most excited I’ve been about a vehicle heading here in a long time,” said Williams, who declined to reveal any specifics about it. “I will say that Subaru engineers and designers seemed to have addressed every issue we’ve brought up with the Outback. They seemed to listen to us, which gives me confidence in how the next-generation Outback will perform in the marketplace.”
I’m honestly kind of surprised that it appears they’re sticking to their traditional five year cycle and will have the 7th-gen ready for the 2025 MY. I had suspected that it would end up getting pushed until 2026 after seeing the Impreza sustain its generation for seven model years, the Crossktrek for six, and the Ascent for (presumably) at least six. Of course this news comes as I’m a short number of months away from taking delivery of my 6th-gen…….. Anyway, sounds exciting! Can’t wait to see what they change and improve.
